You're not supposed to take photos of the work inside Cannes, but that didn't stop a rebellious studio artist that I once supervised – now living and working in Rome – from doing so and then sending them to me. She knows who she is (Thanks Pete!) The photos are not great but I thought everyone would appreciate seeing some of the work from this year's festival a littler sooner rather than later. (Even if you have to squint while trying to read some of them.) Do keep in mind that there are a few past winners in here and that this by no means is an exhaustive listing. They're just random shots of the work taken by a young creative who was enjoying the festival for the first time. This is the stuff that caught her eye.
